stupid microsoft. It doesn't do what it's supposed to do.... i even cleared
all temp files and cookies documents and disabled auto-complete???

maybe bill gates knew his wife searches porn b/c he can't satisfy her...

this really annoys me. Something doesn't say what it's supposed to do...
grrrrr....

anyways, any suggestions so that i may clear my history of porn searching?

thanks,
d
 
Dave -

Don't do such searches? :-)

I'm willing to bet that the clear history isn't working properly because the
folder has gotten corrupted. It most commonly occurs by having randomly
deleted the files within the History or the Temporary Internet Files -
Specifically the Content.IE5 folder and its sub-folders. Also, messing
around with the Index.dat files can lead to this problem. The only safe way
(aside from a DOS Deltree command in the appropriate OS'es) to remove TIF's
and History files is to do so by means of the IE Options> Delete Files
and/or Clear History.

See here for a possible fix:
